ch McConnell’s betrayal hurts the nation:
New York Post ^ | January 19,2021 | Michael Goodwin

McConnell?

Just when Washington has a chance to turn the page, fresh signs emerged Tuesday that the past is not yet past. It is almost certain now that the Senate will hold an impeachment trial of President Trump next week.

Even worse, it looks probable he will be convicted of a single charge stemming from the Capitol invasion.

The history-making event got the green light from McConnell (R-Ky.) on his last day as Senate majority leader.

Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) made it clear that permanently canceling Trump is his aim, saying Tuesday the president would continue to use “the prospect of a future presidential run to poison the public arena.”

“Donald Trump should not be eligible to run for office ever again,” Schumer added. “All of us want to put this awful chapter in our nation’s history behind us.”

“All of us” now appears to include McConnell and a decisive number of Republicans.

Near the finish, he said: “As I prepare to hand power over to a new administration at noon on Wednesday, I want you to know that the movement we started is only just beginning. There’s never been anything like it.”

It’s true there’s never been anything like it. But it remains to be seen whether his movement is just beginning — or close to the end.

Why would you ever give them money
Again? They don’t care about you or your ideas. They only care about getting re-elected so they can maintain their corrupt lives! Never give them money again!

“Donald Trump should not be eligible to run for office ever again.."

This is China demanded overkill, scorched and salted earth, because they know that the China Dominion voting guarantees Rat victories forever.

(Does she have a sister?)

Yes she does. Her name is (don’t laugh) Chinh. She lives in a beautiful three level home in the Q8 section of Saigon (I refuse to say Ho Chi Minh City). Her son, Phuong, owns a sandal factory and employs about 75 peeps

BTW, my wife was named Muoi. Muoi means #10 as she was the 10th kid and baby of the family.

We usually go spend 2 to 3 weeks visiting Chinh each year. Usually around their New Year. Naturally, not this year.

Am I the only optimist left in the world?

Chuck demands a trial.

Trump accepts and gains access to the largest TV,Internet and radio audience in world history.

Trump tells what he knows.

The “Trial” will be like Freisler’s Trials. Just screaming at the defendant without allowing them to say anything.

"“China Mitch may have his fistful of yuans, but he will forever be hated by both the left and the right as a Benedict Arnold.” But, he does not care. China Mitch doesn’t care about America, Americans, or reputation. China Mitch cares about China Mitch. I’m firmly convinced that most of the GOP really doesn’t care. They think they’ll pick off some wins here and there, and get rich by playing ball with the Dems, fulfilling their role as Washington Generals to the Dems Globetrotters."

I agree; you are correct and that puts them beyond reach of traditional politics, especially with the Biden regime opening the borders and legalizing tens of millions of illegal aliens already here.
